Okay man. Just saying, there was no way to know that from your first reply. (Despite their name, the timestamps are not UNIX-specific, they're POSIX)

This thread is so full of win.

I simply had to post in a troll thread. Again.

For the re-trollers : You know that the 29th of February has a deeper meaning right ?
Look at it this way, 2 + 9 = 11
29th of February this year has one more day in it than February of 2011
Therefore 29 - 28 = 1
2012 -1 = 2011
IT'S A TARP !!

I wonder if CCP is secretly proud, that in addition to having one of the most successful MMOs ever - they also have some of the most impressive c**k-ups in the games industry ever.

If you're going to do it, do it well.

Well I for one am not so secretly proud of the various internal records I hold. I don't have a very hairy chest so I consider them a sign of my manhood.

I used to be pessimistic like you, then I took an arrow to the knee.
